S3E1: World War C

The US spends more than $700 billion on defense every year, more than healthcare, education, and all the rest of our discretionary spending combined.

This season we ask, “What else are we missing?” GUESTS: Alden Wicker, Sustainable Fashion Journalist; Kathleen Hicks, CSIS; John Blocher, Dave Ahern, Mia Herrington, and Larry Rubin, who shared their personal views with us at Defense One 2020.
